3 parts of taqwa

hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Shafi Don't be able mercerie And Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa salam to slim and Kofi Annan Cassia. From Abba, sisters Hamdulillah we had a beautiful lecture reminding us about the importance of Ramadan and the purpose of it and how to maximize its benefit in our lives. I remind myself and you have three quick things. Firstly,

the essence of Islam the meaning of Islam is submission.

Submission of our desires of ourselves to the will of Allah, submitting my will to the will of Allah, I want something Allah wants something else, I do what Allah wants, and I do not do what I want. That is why as Natali said, the right in the beginning, in Surah, Allah Allah Svarta said was should have to

make such that and come close. I remember when I first read this, I asked myself, How can you make sense the uncom close because it's a joke. You are completely helpless. Your face is on the ground, your hands and feet on the ground, you can't move.

And they're hungry that the meaning that came to me was that it is Allah sakes, make yourself submit and Allah will dry your clothes. Allah will make you come closer to him. So what will work for him

in order to make us submit in order to make us understand the value of submission, Allah subhanaw taala centers Radha and he said Gudivada Gosia will come up with come la la quinta de Beaune. Yeah, even Armano quotevalet como si algo Kamakoti rather letting them uncover the complete eila content the one Oh, you will believe fasting has been prescribed on you as it was prescribed for those before you so that you may become submissive so that you will become Matakohe. As you know what is the meaning of Taqwa the meaning of Taqwa is to be concerned about Allah subhanaw taala as well and to do what Allah wants to fear to displease Allah is not fear of Allah. It is fear of the

displeasure of Allah who I love more than anyone or anything else. So the more I love Allah, the more my Taqwa increases.

That we're consists of three things. Number one, knowing Allah subhana Alterra. Knowing the glory and majesty of Allah, two ways to know that one is the glory and majesty of Allah which puts in Russia in our hearts, or and Majesty of Allah and the second one is to make sugar to be thankful to Allah's Vadodara for all that he blessed us with and all that he protected us from, which brings in this this sense of sugar, so it is Russia or sugar.

knowing Allah, second one is when I know Allah, then I am concerned about the pleasure of Allah, the reader of Allah.

Why should I be concerned about the reader of Allah because of who Allah is? I know Allah is therefore I am concerned about the reader of Allah subhanho Berra. And the third one is that I do what it takes to earn the reader of Allah.

Right three things, knowing the glory and majesty of Allah.

Being concerned about earning the reader of Allah, and then doing what it takes to under the Avila. Knowing alone is not enough just being concerned about the reader and then doing the opposite obviously is wrong, right?

I am because I want you to be pleased with me. But what about sir?

I'll pray when I have time. No, doesn't work.

Three things together, knowing the glory and majesty if I don't know the glory and majesty of all those one is better than maybe I'm not concerned about pleasing. Why should I preserve I don't even know who's Allah.

I know the glory of majesty of Allah's wrath about pleasing Allah is not part of my equation again, wrong. And third thing is I have these two but I'm not doing anything, as I said earlier, and I remind myself I knew at the end of the day, it's only action which comes Amen. That is why in Islam and in the Quran, you see all that I Eman while Amma Remar what Ahmad Yvonne Baramulla.

And those around telecomm always combined the two belief with action believe with action. Without action. The belief has no value.

You can believe anything you want. If you don't act on it. It has no value. knowledge alone has no value.

Right? How many of us don't know that exercise is essential to maintain your body to maintain your health. That movement is essentially the free market is not enough. How many of your hours don't know that Maxine, Maxine on carbs and sugars and so on is not good for us.

Right and I can make a long list. I'm not going to

that as they get there's a whole bunch of stuff we all know.

Then why does it benefit us because we don't act on it.

So action is very, very important as well is what you take to the bank so to speak.

And to bring this in Allah subhanaw taala as he's never made this forgiveness Allah's rather and forced it on us and last rather sad, you will fast. This is the record it is a pillar of our faith. It is formed on every person who is capable of fasting and we should thank Allah Alhamdulillah Allah subhanaw taala gave me this one month it's like a bootcamp. It's like like an immersion program in Taqwa.

And lotteries and maybe if it was one entry, we wouldn't have done it.

But hamdulillah surrounded I made it for so this is something which we all do, but don't make it mechanical. Don't do it because it is supposed to be no this this is the this is a treasure which is there for us to take home.

And the purpose of Ramana is not Ramana this is the this is the reality of all the above that all the acts of worship of Allah is one of oneness rather than Islam. The Ibadah is not its muscle.

The worship is not its own goal, the worship is for something.

The Mercy was for the inner salata limb other than her annual fashionable bunker. The purpose of Salah is to separate me from all kinds of OSHA to a bunker for all forms of shamelessness and disobedience and rebellious ness to Allah's mantra, Salah is not its own MCSA I don't pray for the prayer I pray so that this will save me so that it will change my life so that it will purify my life.

The first thing is what Lacuna Coil so that I become Motoki if I'm fasting one month of Ramadan I fasted and then I'm the same or you know person then I wasted my time just pengarah does and we have the additional resources and there are some people who will fast all month and all they got was hunger and thirst and sleepless night nothing else. So we don't want to be part of that we want to be in we completely transformed because of this.

Right? So the purpose of ABA is not the mother itself the purpose a brother is to achieve something so let us focus on that and say is my EBA getting me what it's supposed to get me in in the case of fasting? It is supposed to get me this. So Indra Hamdulillah we learn to pray we learn to pray Asia we learn to pray to Malaysia. So let us make these they let us make these intentions that through Ramadan. I'm going to focus on this and after other I will read so much Quran every day because I got that habit in Ramadan. Right. I will make the 100 foregone myself because rather than I was praying that after Ramadan, I will continue. You don't have to have make sore but since you wake up,

learn to wake up a bit earlier. Pray the Hajj. Imagine Allah subhanaw taala descends to the first ever in Amma in a manner that is in keeping with his majesty and grace and Allah's rather than asking who is it? Who needs to be at VSDB? Who is Indonesia production? We are sleeping who is it that needs anything from me I'm here to give you IVs beeping

at least

at least you have the yalla here

yell I need your protection. Is there anybody here who does not in the production of Alaska?

Is there anyone here who's free from all need, I don't need anything.

Even if you don't need anything Angel Abdullah we shouldn't be like this. I don't need anything in the dunya we're very good but we need the forgiveness of Allah Hamdulillah.

So make this make Ramadan into a life changing event in our lives. And make sure that in Lebanon from first day to last day, we actually monitor and measure the changes that happen in our lives. And then after the last day when we go into Chawan then make sure that we continue that we ask Allah to enable us to continue that for the rest of our life till the end of our lives. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to inculcate submissiveness and submission and obedience in our lives. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to fill our lives with Tyron Baraka with his nor of his office of obedience to Him and with a note of the bark of the Sunnah of Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu ala you ally with Zilla,

we asked them to fill our hearts with love for Allah subhanho wa Taala with the help of Allah and with the hope of interview of his nabi alayhi salam, some of the heart itself. We asked them what to do, how to enable us to do all that is pleasing to Him and to save us from all that does not please him. We ask Allah Samantha to make all of this easy for us and to take it from us and to and to cover our Force and Army

mistakes and our shortcomings and we ask Allah subhanaw taala to keep us in a state of good health and Ema right to the last day and to take us in a state where we have good health and EMA and we meet Allah subhanaw taala with the Kalama on our tongues and with the glory and majesty of Allah subhanaw taala in our hearts was Allah Allah Allah, Allah Allah He was unveiled by him

even while Hamdu lillahi rabbil aalameen
